They are also becoming an increasingly important instrument for evaluating agricultural policy. Within the European Institutions, the main institutional users of crop data are DG Agriculture and Rural Development, DG Health and Food Safety, DG Environment, Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Parliament, the Court of Auditors and European agencies (e.g. European Environment Agency (EEA), European Food Security Authority (EFSA)), as well as national bodies dealing with agriculture, trade in agricultural products and food. Economic and social players in the 'agricultural world' (enterprises, farms, producers' and consumers' associations, trade unions, consultancy bodies, private and public research bodies, etc.) are likewise very important users of crop statistics. Current EU statistics on crops include data on various crop products
